Updates: 18/05/14
We have won the contract for 364 as well as successfully gaining Romford RM garage as our first garage. 13 of the 15 new Wright Streetlite hybrids are already delivered with 2 more on order to make up for the PVR increase on the contract. Unfortunately, we have been given a strict warning for failure to submit the weekly budget like other operators except Saf-One London. In this case the following operators were not fined on this occasion.

Citybus London has been fortunate to be able to change the bid for Stamford Brook V garage for Battersea QB garage for a good amount and we hope we can win the garage. The garage bids are due in for 18:00 tonight and our bid has been placed right before the deadline. Further news to come. Please wish us luck xD .

Updates 24/05/14:
We have lost a agreement with TFL for storing 100 buses at Romford NS garage from Bonely Buses following unclear rules and that have left us with a email stating the plan is rejected for Citybus London and that they also fear overcrowding at our garage as our capacity is 115. We're desperately hoping to win WL and Q as well as the routes we've bidded to start winning something and catch up with other operators in the game. :/

Updates 26/05/14:
Citybus London is very pleased to announce that we have won Camberwell Q garage and is sad to have not been able to gain Walworth WL which has gone to Bonley Buses. This is a step further for the company since the lost of Battersea QB to GW in a narrow defeat when we decided to pull out due to budget problems within the company but we made a wrong move.
BAD NEWS:
Citybus London can confirm that three of our buses on the 364 on route training was involved in an arson attack on the 25th May 2014 and we are currently carrying out an inquiry with Transport for London and the Metropolitan Police to get this sorted. We can confirm that the 2/3 of our buses are severely damaged with one suffering minor damage yet still serious as the chassis has seen damage with centre doors broken which is at a huge risk causing further damage to the bus.

Updates: 27/05/14
We have received an email from Wrightbus Ballymena and we are disappointed to learn that WSH0009 will be written off following the extensive damage to it and the other 2 buses will take 6 months to fix with a bill of £190,000 for each bus. Citybus London has emailed LOG the evidence behind this case and hopes this will be dealt with also we are waiting desperately and painfully for the route results.

Citybus London has been very unfortunate with the losses to bids to 35/N35, 37 and 201 all to Bonely Buses and Unorm Travel, we are deeply heartbroken to have lost those routes and is very much desperate to win more garages and routes this time under a new plan to ease the pain at Romford NS garage.
Of course the lost bid money is refunded and we have learn't our lesson.

Updates 03/06/14: Following a personal decision, I have decided that I do not any longer want to participate in the London Operator Game and declare that I would like to sell the company away. As of this discussion being made personally I feel that I have no longer have interest in it and instead remain a member of staff on the forum instead. How much will the company be selling for? Has it been decided yet? |

Updates ...
Citybus London is interested in buying Gemini 2/B9TL from Saf One buses and will eventually convert them to hybrid flywheel technology if the trails proposed are successful as you can see on the Saf One buses thread. The Mercedes Benz Citaro would be used on 372 and may move down to South London for trailing on another route. The Gemini 1/Volvo B7TL with the Voith gearbox will be used at PD.

Updates .... Citybus London has now officially secured a deal with Safwaanf1's operator Saf One London to buy 10 second hand Wright Gemini 2/Volvo B9TL which we will eventually convert to hybrid flywheel technology/B320 system by Vantage Power. We will soon be ordering a single Mercedes Benz Citaro which will trail the hybrid flywheel technology as the B320 system is not available for the single decker for some time to come. The 10 double deckers would be rolled out on rail replacement services (if needed) and if not it would be rolled out across our garages and put on trail. Camberwell and Walworth garages will share the buses rolled out on trail as both garages are obviously near each other. The Mercedes Benz Citaro would be trailed throughout our garages on suitable double decker routes. The original Gemini 1/Volvo B7TL that we proposed to trail is cancelled as of the purchase of the 10 buses. With new route tenders due if 42 is on tender and we win the contract for the route, Citybus London will propose to re-route the route slightly with C10 to allow double deckers to be used on the C10. Therefore the 42 would serve via the Abbey St section of the low bridge before making it's way out of Dockhead to the normal line of route on both ends and where possible we may seek using 12m single decker buses if they don't prove to be an issue at the Abbey St section that has a low bridge and a rather tight road as well. C10 would instead run straight down Dockhead on both ends running via the 188 and towards Canada Water it would run towards the police station to normal line of route (again via 188). |

I'll be happy to quit if the situation gets worse as there's always arguments around ... Just to let you know. If you quit again you won't be able to get your garages and routes back once you return. As for buses, they would be leased to the new operator for the duration of the routes contract. |
